Paladin using its laser to stop Stinger missiles. The laser is also surprisingly effective as a makeshift anti-infantry weapon, capable of burning enemy infantry to death. Throughout its service in the war, the Paladin was revered for its superior survivability over the Crusader due to its tougher armour and its point defense laser, which can destroy anti-tank missiles and rockets. The Paladin is the first US units to use Point Defense Laser whose technology saw use later in the conflict in units such as the Avenger. In the later stages of the war, the Paladin became an increasingly common sight within US armored columns. Early in the GLA conflict, Crusaders often made up the bulk of armored offensives, as in the attack against GLA-occupied Baghdad.
Entering battlefield service as an advanced prototype, the Paladin quickly gained favor with US Generals.
